Develop Bugs

Some questions!

Ok so I have a few questions if you guys would allow me to pick your brains.
I have installed cm9.1 on the galaxy s2 (SGH-T989) using clock work recovery. The phone is rooted using superSU. Pretty standard as far as it goes here. However:
<s>1) I have no wifi calling option and its running android 4.0.4 (ICS). Is this normal for this rom or do I need a different kernal or modem/radio to make this work? Because stock has this feature and its really important to keep message/calling costs down and get service in dead zones.</s>
2) I cannot get 4G data. Only "H" and 3G. I got Edge/2G/3G/4G with stock. Is this normal or do I need to do something else to get this to work?
3) What are good custom kernals to use for this phone because I looked on the sticky and there are only three listed and some are discontinued. Also what are the major advantages of a custom kernal over samsungs stock? I.E. What does it add/modify?
4) Do custom radios change signals your phone can pick up? What exactly does changing the radio do?
THANKS!
~NEW!~
1)Since no wifi calling is a deal breaker for me I'm going to try a new rom, so! I'm looking at darkside and akop. Any opinions on these roms or experiences you guys have had with these good or bad?
2) CWM vs TWRP ~ GO!
Just trying to get better informed. Thanks everyone! :highfive:
Also if there are guides I missed that explain these things I'm sorry just link me to them if you would be so kind. Thanks!

This and stick with stock kernels for now. Different radios work better in different areas, so just try until you find the best one for you.

Haha yea after I got the answer I felt dumb I just never saw the little icon use "H" to explain a radio type and didn't think about that related to 4G as standing for hspa. Also I learned hspa exists using WCDMA. Cool. :victory:

The "H" means HSPA+ which is 4g.
Only Touchwiz ROMs have Wifi Calling (CM9 is AOSP Based)
The best kernel to use is the Darkside Venom Kernel for CM9 AOSP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775075
As far as radios go they can change the amount of signal. Certain radios make signal better in different areas. I PREFER THE GALAXY NOTE RADIO FOR Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile)
HOPE THIS HELPED!

Darkside, only tw roms have wifi calling, aosp roms like cm9,10 and aokp dont.

IPTables
Is there a kernal i can flash with the stock rom that would give me iptables/netfilter?

Why no signlal bars in SR rom ports??

There has been a 4.1.2 SR touchwiz rom out for almost a month and still the rom ports here don't have signal bars.
Is it really that hard to make the signal bars work?
So what's the story with the no signal bars?

The story is that these builds were not coded with any if our radios in mind so they don't get the signal status from them right. We are lucky our radios even work on them in the first place.

Its because of the radios. The same things happen if sr users don't use the 2 new radios I saw some posts in their threads complaining. If it matters that much flash ucll3 in the sr forum but you will only run edge no 4g pick your poison

Its because we don't have a jellybean radio for the t989. Latest updated radio was still ICS.

so basically, you can either have 4G or signal bars, but not both until we get an updated radio, correct?

Pure Aosp Rom

I was wondering ..what is the problem with amking a pure aosp rom? Is it the files or just that cm is more reliable? I wish there was a pure aosp rom.not a fan of cm for a couple of reason one being that it reboots/bootloop every time on my phone with stock or ktoon kernel

Yes, but the jdeloach rom is 1- a port
And 2 - still contains pretty much the standard cm stuff

There is a banned ROM/Kernel that's way closer to being pure AOSP over anything else. Haha I wont tell you where to find it but dig around. :laugh: Im currently using it and its blown my mind why I ever used that lag fest TW stuff. 70% battery left, phones been on for 12 hours and thats on the first boot also, cant wait for it to settle.

Incompatable kernels. Dual boot always originates from there.

Throw us a few more nuggets so we can check it out. I would love a pure google experience without having to but a Nexus phone.

Also, does this banned ROM have a smooth handoff between 3G/LTE/WiFi?
I ask because I have flashed several AOSP and AOKP ROMs and they all seemed to struggle for signal strength (thus, draining the phone battery much faster than a TW ROM).

It does and works fantastically. You don't even have to focus the camera to take a picture. I tried it for a few hours and its the smoothest aosp Rom I have ever used.

rom with wifi calling

can anyone suggest me some roms with wifi calling? it is an important feature for me as i don't get much reception at home.

Tweaked. Bar none best rom.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

You need a touchwiz based rom. The latest android vwrsion is 4.1.2, anything currently higher is non-TW and does not have wifi calling.
I'm currently using jedi master 14 which supports wifi calling. Also have used the older frosty jellybean.
Btw this question belongs in the q&a forum, so expect the moderators to move it.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Tweaked is the best!!! It has wifi calling and everything. The S4 themed Rom is also another good one those 2 are the best roms for the Note2
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

My vote is for Jedi Master 14. SaberKernel is by far the best out IMO.
I've never had an issue with lockups, sods, or random reboots. Tons of features
Plus you will love his installer. The themes are built right into the zip! ::good::
Also I think this is the wrong place for you to make a thread. This is the android Development section. This thread belongs in general or q&a.

Thats covered in the thread. T999 roms cant usually show lte in the statusbar. You have to stsrt a download and check Network Type under Settings, About Device, Status.

I think with 4.1.2 tw ROMs it should show it, I tried it with an at&t s3 and it showed lte on statusbar, but not with 4.1.1 it would connect to it but just show 4g.. Of course idk if its different with the t-999l

At&t has lte, so their roms will have the ability to display it. The T999 isnt capable of lte, so its roms have no need to show it in the statusbar

This. Mine showed "4G" on the bar, when I checked the Status page (the one that Doc is referring to) it showed LTE.

Either way, it boils down to this. On a T999L you will get LTE if its available in your area. Whether or not is shows this in the statusbar is just rom dependant, but you will still get LTE.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

cool all i want to do with my tmobile galaxy s3 lte is install a t999 custom rom that works with the t999l because the lte model has no roms yet,but if the t999 are compatable with no issue ill flash away,
just wanted to no if anyone had success and what was there procedure
the lte is incredibly fast night and day compared to the t999

There are a few things to look out for. Just re-read the first several posts in both my Q&A and Development threads and at least skim over the last few pages of the Q&A one.
